On the last day of November, it rained and snowed heavily in Chicago.
This is not the first snow this year. If Gu Bei remembers correctly, the first snow in Chicago already fell on the 15th.
The snow that day was much heavier than today, and it was three fingers thick. It was said that people from the Student Union and the Lion Heart Club organized a friendly exchange - a snowball fight.
As for how the scene was turned upside down, Gu Bei didn't know. He was rubbing the hot fireplace in the principal's office at the time.
Although Gubei is not affected by the cold and heat, it should be said that it is really comfortable to wrap up a blanket in the snowy weather and relax in the lounge chair for a while by the fireplace.
What is important is not cold or warm, but the atmosphere.
But when it came to the Lion Heart Club, Gu Bei always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something... What happened?
Forget it, don't think about it anymore, it shouldn't be an important thing, otherwise Gu Bei wouldn't forget it.
The arrogant Gu Bei turned around and threw all these worries aside, turned over and sat up from the bed.
Norma's weather forecast is quite accurate. If it says rain and sleet, it will rain and sleet. The drizzle is mixed with patches of snowflakes. Coupled with the cold wind of late autumn and early winter, it is like a knife piercing the bone marrow. The freshmen who just entered Kassel this year experienced what it means to be refreshingly cold.
Although the latitude is similar to that of Beijing, the temperature in Chicago is much colder than that in Beijing. At this time, the temperature in Beijing is hovering between minus five degrees to plus five degrees, while in Chicago it is no longer above zero, it is all below zero. .
Chicago's coldness and topography are inseparable.
Chicago is located between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains, with the wide Lake Michigan to the north and an open terrain in the middle, reaching the Gulf of Mexico to the south and the high-latitude polar center to the north, forming a narrow cold air channel.
Whenever a cold wave breaks out, the north wind sweeps across Lake Michigan, carrying a large amount of wet and cold water vapor towards Chicago.
This leaves Chicago with a raging wind chill and heavy snowfall.
This is equivalent to being in the polar northeast and the Jiangnan water town at the same time. Not only is the temperature low, but it is also humid. It is equivalent to experiencing physical attacks and magic attacks at the same time.
As soon as winter comes, people in China start to argue over whether it's colder in the south or the north, without even considering how Chicago feels.
Zhi Cheng: "I'm cold, but I won't say it."
Of course, Kassel is a very humanitarian college, not a prisoner of war camp, so no matter how cold the weather outside is, the students are in good condition. The heating of the dormitories is very timely, so that some tropical tropics will not come to the students' lives. freeze to death.
Gu Bei turned his head and looked at the other bed.
Very good, senior brother is not here as always.
So self-disciplined, even this kind of weather can't stop my senior brother from pursuing strength. It's so hot!
It's a pity that Gu Bei can't do it. He is a lazy person. Facing this kind of weather, he just wants to shrink in the dormitory. At most, he can sit on the rocking chair on the balcony, look at the white scenery outside, and hum a few words. Lyrics that people have heard.
"In such a cold weather, I want to smoke an e-cigarette, but Reike has no power..."
It's rare to have such a leisurely time. There are no classes to take, no experiments, no banquets, and no universal things waiting for him to solve...
Long live peace!
Gu Bei just lay on the rocking chair, thinking about nothing and doing nothing, rocking and feeling the hard-won daily life.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a soft knock from the door. Gu Bei turned around and saw the door opened and Chu Zihang walked in from the outside.
"Welcome back...wtf!? Can you tell me what morning exercise you need to do to make your gym clothes look like this?"
Don't blame Gu Bei for being so rare, it's really that Chu Zihang's current style is just... too cool.
When he first entered the door, Chu Zihang was still wearing a large windbreaker, and there was nothing visible about it. But when Chu Zihang casually hung the windbreaker on a hanger on the side, it was revealed that the underneath had turned into cloth. Striped sportswear, you can still vaguely see your eight-pack abs through the gaps in the sportswear.
Chu Zihang's lips moved: "Do you want to do morning exercises with you?"
Hearing this answer, Gu Bei suddenly didn't know what to say. After all, Chu Zihang was telling the truth. Every time the two brothers competed, Gu Bei would chop Chu Zihang's clothes into noodles. He once cut Chu Zihang's clothes into noodles. Chu Zihang's wardrobe was emptied.
Over time, every time Chu Zihang and Gu Bei competed in swordsmanship, the first thing he did was to take off his shirt.
But in this situation, it was obvious that Chu Zihang was joking.
He pulled off the "noodles" on his body and threw them into the trash can: "I met Caesar at the kendo gym. I don't know why, but he seemed a little irritable today."
OK, that makes sense.
As the boss of the student union, Caesar collided with Chu Zihang, the acting boss of the Lion Heart Club. It was bound to be a fight between dragons and tigers.
Although he really admires Chu Zihang, he is not good as a subordinate, and he is not bad as an opponent.
As for being in a bad mood...
Gu Bei strongly suspected that it was related to Nono's escape from the banquet last night.
When he got up this morning, Gu Bei also checked out the Night Watch forum and found that what happened last night was still being discussed by many people, and there were also many student union accounts being mopped.
Gu Bei didn't get involved in this matter.
He couldn't jump out and say: Your wife, the president, didn't attend the banquet last night because she was soaking her feet on the top of the mountain with me and counting the stars, right?
Isn't this just adding chaos?
But when he talked about what happened last night, Gu Bei remembered what Nuonuo said: "Caesar is very suitable for me, not just because of family matters. A boy thought I was very good, so he liked me, and I also felt that I was very good. Well, it’s worthy of him liking me. I think he’s pretty good and won’t make me uncomfortable. Isn’t this good?”
This sentence sounds like an animal to Gu Bei. It looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, so it is a duck.
It reveals the helplessness towards fate and also contains a hint of resistance.
But even Gu Bei didn't know how to resist fate.
Caesar is not only a good person, he is also quite stubborn. As long as he pays, he hopes others will recognize his goodness.
He put in so much effort last night, but was given up halfway, if Nono couldn't coax him. I'm afraid this irritable state will continue in the afternoon.
Gu Bei sighed and suddenly asked Chu Zihang, "Did you win or lose?"
Chu Zihang pointed to the cloth strip of the trash can: "He is just like me."
No loss, no win, just a tie.
However, Chu Zihang probably only used swordsmanship. Although this guy can't use Qi easily, his Yuan Qi and Word Spirit are combined together, and the discipline field of the academy cannot suppress him at all. If he is allowed to use Word Spirit, Caesar I guess it’s too much.
Although Caesar has started practicing Qi now, he is not a match for Chu Zihang.
However, Gu Bei felt that he should mention this matter to the night watchman. After all, most of the students in the academy have mastered basic Qi training methods, although not everyone is like Chu Zihang and Percy Gatto. Although there is such a monster like Suo, it is estimated that sooner or later he will be able to develop a move that combines magic with the spirit of speech. By then, the discipline field of the academy will probably be in vain.
Until then, it is still necessary to nip problems in the bud.
But after thinking about it carefully, Gu Bei felt that he was a little worried. Maybe it would be good to give the students in Kassel more free space. The existence of the discipline field is like a big net that wraps up the entire academy. Students are Fish in the net.
Banning the use of word spirits by a group of young people who are destined to slay dragons... to be honest, is as unreliable as banning magic at Hogwarts.
Hmm... just take it one step at a time, who knows what will happen in the future.
Gu Bei has not had this kind of mentality for a long time. He has always taken one step at a time and looked at ten steps. He must grasp every road and every possibility in his hands, so that he can move forward with peace of mind, but also Inevitably, you will be exhausted mentally and physically.
But now the mentality that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain made him relax.
Chu Zihang took a hot shower and walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair.
He has no classes today. Normally, he will go to the library to read a book or go to Amber Hall to handle Lionheart Club affairs.
All in all it was very busy.
In fact, Chu Zihang doesn't have to be so busy. He deliberately makes himself busy. Only when he is busy can he forget some things, such as Odin, such as Rainy Night, such as...a certain Miss Su.
In recent times, Su Qian's offensive has intensified. Gu Bei even saw Chu Zihang returning to the dormitory several times carrying a pink lunch box of unknown origin.
Unknown source?
Regardless of whether Gu Bei believed it or not, Chu Zihang said so anyway, and he didn't touch a bite of the food inside and sent it back the next day.
There is a saying that Su Qian is the most daring to love and hate among the girls Gu Bei has ever seen. The only one who can compete with her is Su Xiaoqiang.
Maybe Su Xiaoyan is too.
Neither Xia Mi nor Nono particularly dare to love or hate. Xia Mi has lived for too long and has seen things thoroughly, so he will not love easily, while Nono is afraid of feelings and can only accept them passively.
In fact, from a certain perspective, Chen Wenwen is brave enough to love and hate, but her love and hate are not as good as a stable enough future.
Eriyi also dares to love and hate, but only if she knows what love is.
But in fact, Gu Bei himself doesn't understand love.
Chu Zihang didn’t understand either.
He sat on another deck chair on the balcony, and the two of them sat on the balcony, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the rain and snow outside, as well as the students coming and going on campus.
Gu Bei was a little surprised: "You're not going to the Lion Heart Club today?"
"There's Susie over there."
"Where's the library?"
"I brought it back."
Speaking of which, Chu Zihang also showed off the Magic Machinery Level 3 in his hand... This thing is a course for the junior year, right? ?
Gu Bei was speechless and lay back on the chair again.
The students on campus were in a hurry, Gu Bei looked at them, and Chu Zihang looked at the book in his hand.
Suddenly, Chu Zihang asked: "Are you going home to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Oh, Kassel is about to have a holiday too.
There are two holidays in Kassel every year. The winter holiday is from Christmas to after the Lantern Festival, which lasts for two months; the summer vacation is from July to September, which is also two months.
"Go back, probably."
Gu Bei thought for a while and added: "I won't go back to China with you. I'm going to celebrate a little girl's birthday at Christmas."
Chu Zihang nodded: "Okay."
The relationship between Gu Bei and Chu Zihang has always been so dull. The relationship between the two is too close. They both know what kind of person the other is, and they are both used to saying what they say.
If it were two friends with a normal relationship, if they sat together like these two, they would probably just find topics like crazy, otherwise it would be embarrassing, but it wouldn't be a big deal if these two people sat together and didn't talk for a whole day. Feel.
Time was as calm as water, with only the sound of rain and snow hitting the window outside, and the sound of Chu Zihang turning the pages of a book.
"Jingle Bell……"
"But snow..."
Well, there are cell phone ringtones.
And there are two.
Gu Bei and Chu Zihang answered the phone at the same time.
“Come to the lab, we’ve made a major discovery!
! "
Acadura on the other end of the phone was like a monkey in heat. Gu Bei, who had no idea that his good mood was ruined, just wanted to kick his ass with his boot.
Gu Bei hung up the phone, and Chu Zihang on the other side also hung up: "Lab?"
"Um...Lionheart?"
"Um."
"Let's go."
The two got dressed and went out together.
The weather in Chicago was indeed as cold as a ghost. The moment Gu Bei walked out of the dormitory, he felt the temperature around him drop sharply. He suddenly remembered the sable he had collected in Changbai Mountain that year...
Wondering about the thermal insulation effect of sable fur?
Brother Diao who is far away in Changbai Mountain: "Ah! Hybrid animals can also catch colds? This damn Changbai Mountain is so cold..."
The two of them were walking on the road. Gu Bei had nothing to say, "What's the matter with you from the Lion Heart Club? Can't Susie solve it?"
"It's the president who came to me. It seems he wants to discuss matters related to taking over in the second half of the school year."
Gu Bei curled his lips: "Does this still need to be discussed? Who doesn't know that the next president of the Lion Heart Club has already been decided to be you?"
Chu Zihang's head was full of dark thoughts: "There is no need to discuss the successor. What needs to be discussed is the succession ceremony."
"What's there to discuss? If he abdicates and you succeed, wouldn't it be over? I didn't go through so much trouble when I handed over the whole thing to Sister Hua. Is it possible that they can still give you the throne? Ceremony? Let me tell you, who is your president..."
"Fundy Francis."
"Yes, this guy is too boring and likes to engage in formalism. I suspect that he also uses a line to arrange the water bottles neatly during meetings..."
At this point, Gu Bei was suddenly stunned.
He seemed to remember that he had forgotten something.
"Tell me, what's the name of your president?"
"Fundy Francis."
"Francis...Francis..."
Gu Bei finally remembered. He had never thought of such an important thing until now!
Francis family!
The Francis family is entangled with Odin and seems to have some conspiracy!
Because during this period of time, he was dreaming about traveling through Black Swan Port, and it was about Yuan Qi Technology, so he almost forgot about it!
"Walk!"
Gu Bei grabbed Chu Zihang's arm.
Chu Zihang was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"Go to Lionheart Club."
"Where's the laboratory?"
"It doesn't matter over there!"
